message from dan 16/03/2005 yeh! our record is out! thank you to norman for helping us with mastering and thank you to heather for the work she's put into getting it out there. it's been a weird journey. we did a couple of very enjoyable shows in dundee and aberdeen recently - there's nothing like shouting and hitting things. lots of lovely people. we're working on spooky fairy tale songs at the moment. hopefully we'll be recording them soon. making music is so much fun. i love it.
